Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to devices and methods for treating septal defects or shunts in the vascular system. More particularly, the present invention relates to devices and methods for treating septal defects within the heart of a human being.
- Heart defects including abnormal openings within the heart and vascular system may occur either congenitally or by acquisition. These abnormal openings commonly occur across a septum.
- a septum is generally defined as a thin wall of tissue that divides two or more areas within the body, for example heart chambers.
- the most common congenital heart defects include ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus.
- Left-to-right ventricular septal defects and patent ductus arteriosus typical result in the left side of the heart having to work harder because some of the blood it pumps will recirculate through the lungs instead of circulating throughout the body.
- Atrial septal defects typically result in blood being shunted from the left atrium to the right, thus overloading the right side of the heart.
- septal defects were corrected by open-heart surgery where a surgeon would cut into the heart and suture the defect closed. If the defect was too large to be sutured, a patch of a biologically compatible material could be sewn onto the septum to cover the defect.
- a variety of methods for treating septal defects that utilize intravascular catheters have been developed as less invasive alternatives to open heart surgery. In general, these methods comprise some form of a patch that is delivered to the defect through an intravascular catheter. The patch is then secured to the defect in order to suitably repair the defect.
- One of the first such devices was disclosed by King et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,874,388.
- the King device comprises a pair of mechanical umbrella-like patches that are be connected to one another. Since the disclosure of the King device, a number of septal closure devices have been disclosed and patented. These devices generally have in common the use of a single intravascular catheter that is used to secure a patch to a septal defect. The use of a single catheter can limit the utility of such devices since it may often be difficult to center and place the patch across a small hole within a constantly moving heart. A need, therefore, exists for devices and methods for treating septal defects that have an improved ability to center and place a patch across a septal defect.
- the present invention comprises unique devices and methods for treating septal defects. Moreover, the present invention includes devices and methods for treating septal defects that comprise an improved ability to center and place a patch across a septal defect.
- the patch system may comprise a first catheter, a second catheter, and a bridge member that may be adapted to extend between the first catheter and the second catheter.
- the first catheter and the second catheter may be steered to opposite sides of a septal defect. Once located on opposite sides of a septal defect, the bridge member may be extended so as to pass from a first lumen of the first catheter, through the septal defect, and into a second lumen of the second catheter.
- a first patch may be urged toward the septal defect along the bridge member by a first pusher.
- a second pusher may be used to move a second patch over the bridge member toward the septal defect.
- the first patch and the second patch may be connectable across the septal defect.
- the first patch and the second patch may be connected by differing mechanisms.
- the first patch may comprise an outer surface having a plurality of loops
- the second patch may comprise an outer surface having a plurality of complementary hooks. The hooks may engage the loops when the first patch and the second patch are brought into contact with one another and substantially remain connected.
- the first patch and second patch may comprise an outer surface including a magnet or adhesive.
- the first patch and the second patch may be mechanically connectable.
- the first patch may comprise an outer surface including a chamber and a deflectable flange.
- the second patch may comprise an outer surface including a shank and one or more rings defining a recess therebetween.
- the chamber is adapted to receive the shank and lock in place when the deflectable flange becomes disposed within the recess.
- the first patch may comprise an outer surface including a chamber having threads
- the second patch may comprise an outer surface including a shank having threads.
- the second patch may further comprise a head having a slot.
- An alternative pusher may be used that includes a complementary head adapted to engage the slot.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention generally relates to devices and methods for treating septal defects or shunts in the vascular system. More particularly, the present invention relates to devices and methods for treating septal defects within the heart of a human being.
- Heart defects including abnormal openings within the heart and vascular system may occur either congenitally or by acquisition. These abnormal openings commonly occur across a septum. A septum is generally defined as a thin wall of tissue that divides two or more areas within the body, for example heart chambers.
- The most common congenital heart defects include ventricular septal defects, atrial septal defects, and patent ductus arteriosus. Left-to-right ventricular septal defects and patent ductus arteriosus typical result in the left side of the heart having to work harder because some of the blood it pumps will recirculate through the lungs instead of circulating throughout the body. Atrial septal defects typically result in blood being shunted from the left atrium to the right, thus overloading the right side of the heart. These conditions have significant consequences if left untreated including hypertension, increased pulmonary arterial pressure, strain on the heart muscle, and ultimately heart failure.
- For many years, septal defects were corrected by open-heart surgery where a surgeon would cut into the heart and suture the defect closed. If the defect was too large to be sutured, a patch of a biologically compatible material could be sewn onto the septum to cover the defect. A variety of methods for treating septal defects that utilize intravascular catheters have been developed as less invasive alternatives to open heart surgery. In general, these methods comprise some form of a patch that is delivered to the defect through an intravascular catheter. The patch is then secured to the defect in order to suitably repair the defect.
- One of the first such devices was disclosed by King et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 3,874,388. The King device comprises a pair of mechanical umbrella-like patches that are be connected to one another. Since the disclosure of the King device, a number of septal closure devices have been disclosed and patented. These devices generally have in common the use of a single intravascular catheter that is used to secure a patch to a septal defect. The use of a single catheter can limit the utility of such devices since it may often be difficult to center and place the patch across a small hole within a constantly moving heart. A need, therefore, exists for devices and methods for treating septal defects that have an improved ability to center and place a patch across a septal defect.
- The present invention comprises unique devices and methods for treating septal defects. Moreover, the present invention includes devices and methods for treating septal defects that comprise an improved ability to center and place a patch across a septal defect. The patch system may comprise a first catheter, a second catheter, and a bridge member that may be adapted to extend between the first catheter and the second catheter.
- The first catheter and the second catheter may be steered to opposite sides of a septal defect. Once located on opposite sides of a septal defect, the bridge member may be extended so as to pass from a first lumen of the first catheter, through the septal defect, and into a second lumen of the second catheter.
- A first patch may be urged toward the septal defect along the bridge member by a first pusher. Similarly, a second pusher may be used to move a second patch over the bridge member toward the septal defect. The first patch and the second patch may be connectable across the septal defect.
- In alternative embodiments of the invention, the first patch and the second patch may be connected by differing mechanisms. For example, the first patch may comprise an outer surface having a plurality of loops, and the second patch may comprise an outer surface having a plurality of complementary hooks. The hooks may engage the loops when the first patch and the second patch are brought into contact with one another and substantially remain connected. Alternatively, the first patch and second patch may comprise an outer surface including a magnet or adhesive.
- In an exemplary embodiment, the first patch and the second patch may be mechanically connectable. For example, the first patch may comprise an outer surface including a chamber and a deflectable flange. In addition, the second patch may comprise an outer surface including a shank and one or more rings defining a recess therebetween. Preferably, the chamber is adapted to receive the shank and lock in place when the deflectable flange becomes disposed within the recess. Alternatively, the first patch may comprise an outer surface including a chamber having threads, and the second patch may comprise an outer surface including a shank having threads. The second patch may further comprise a head having a slot. An alternative pusher may be used that includes a complementary head adapted to engage the slot. The chamber may be adapted to threadably receive the shank while the complementary head is engaged with the slot.

first catheter 22 may be sized appropriately for use in pediatric patients. For pediatric patients, the outside diameter offirst catheter 22 may be less than about 5 cm. More preferably, the outside diameter may be less than about 2 cm.First catheter 22 may also be used for adult patients, wherein the outside diameter offirst catheter 22 may be less than about 5 cm. More preferably, the outside diameter may be about less than about 2 cm. - A
second catheter 34 may approach asecond side 35 ofseptal defect 110 by passing through the arterial system, into theleft atrium 36, and to a location withinleft ventricle 20 adjacentseptal defect 110. Preferably,second catheter 34 comprises a proximal end located outside the patient (not shown), a distal end 38, and asecond lumen 40 extending therethrough. Although named independently offirst catheter 22, the features attributed tosecond catheter 34 andfirst catheter 22 are understood to be interchangeable. - A
bridge member 30 may be used to couplefirst catheter 22 andsecond catheter 34.Bridge member 30 may comprise a proximal end disposed outside the patient (not shown) and adistal end 32.Bridge member 30 may be adapted to be disposed withinfirst lumen 28 and is generally flexible.Bridge member 30 may comprise a conventional guidewire or be similar to a conventional guidewire. According to this embodiment,bridge member 30 may be about 100 to 360 centimeters long. For example,bridge member 30 may be long enough to span the length offirst catheter 22, extend betweenfirst catheter 22 andsecond catheter 34, span the length ofsecond catheter 22, and be accessible near the proximal ends offirst catheter 22 and/orsecond catheter 34. Alternatively,bridge member 30 may span a portion offirst catheter 22 and/orsecond catheter 34 and be manipulated by an actuator or activator that is coupled tobridge member 30. - FIG. 3 is a plan view of two catheters connected by
bridge member 30, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Oncefirst catheter 22 andsecond catheter 30 are located on the opposite side ofseptal defect 110,distal end 32 ofbridge member 30 may be extended so as to pass fromfirst lumen 28, throughseptal defect 110, and intosecond lumen 40 ofsecond catheter 34. In an exemplary embodiment,distal end 32 ofbridge member 30 may continue to be extended throughsecond lumen 40 ofsecond catheter 34 untildistal end 32 extends outside the patient proximate the proximal end ofsecond catheter 34. - A number of techniques and features may be utilized in order to maximize the successful extension of
bridge member 30 fromfirst lumen 28 intosecond lumen 40. For example, any one of a number of commonly known visualization techniques (fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, etc.) may be used to visualizebridge member 30,first catheter 22, andsecond catheter 34 so as to assist a clinician. In addition,second lumen 40 may include a generally funnel-shaped opening that may simplify extendingbridge member 30 intosecond lumen 40. - FIG. 4 is a plan view of two catheters connected by
bridge member 30 and having two patches approachingseptal defect 110, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.First patch 114 may be urged towardseptal defect 110 alongbridge member 30 fromfirst lumen 28 offirst catheter 22. Afirst pusher 42 may be used to urgefirst patch 114 alongbridge member 30.First pusher 42 may comprise a catheter (e.g., a guide catheter), tool, or similar object that may come in contact withfirst patch 114 and may extend out of the proximal end offirst catheter 22 so as to be accessible by a clinician.First pusher 42 may be adapted and configured to be disposed withinfirst lumen 28 and be movable alongbridge member 30. According to this embodiment, force applied by the clinician onfirst pusher 42 in the distal direction may then allowfirst pusher 42 to movefirst patch 114 overbridge member 30, towardseptal defect 110. -
Second patch 116 may be urged towardseptal defect 110 alongbridge member 30 fromsecond lumen 40 ofsecond catheter 34. Similar to what is disclosed above, asecond pusher 44 that is essentially the same in form and function asfirst pusher 42 may be used to movesecond patch 116 overbridge member 30 towardseptal defect 110. Although named independently offirst patch 114, the features attributed tosecond patch 116 andfirst patch 114 are understood to be interchangeable. - The shape of
first patch 114 andsecond patch 116 may include, but is not limited to, generally umbrella-like, concave, convex, curved, straight, and the like. For illustrative purposes, discussion regarding the shape or features of patches, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is directed towardfirst patch 114, but is equally applicable tosecond patch 116 and other analogous elements.First patch 114 may have a diameter or width that is sized for fitting over a septal defect and a surface area suitable for covering the septal defect.First patch 114 may include a support structure coupled to a patch fabric. For example, the support structure may include a stainless steel or nickel-titanium alloy struts covered with the patch fabric. The patch fabric may be comprised of a polymeric material such as nylon, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. -
First patch 114 may be configured to transition between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. In general,first patch 114 may be in the collapsed configuration when located withinfirst lumen 28 offirst catheter 22. The expanded configuration is understood to be generally expanded and adapted for treatingseptal defect 110.First patch 114 may switch to the expanded configuration when it is no longer contained withinfirst lumen 28. According to this embodiment,first patch 114 is understood to be self-expanding. Alternatively,first patch 114 may switch to the expanded configuration when contacted or connected withsecond patch 116. For example, applying necessary force ontofirst patch 114 to couple it tosecond patch 116 may relieve pressure within the structure offirst patch 114 that may be holding it in the collapsed configuration. - In a preferred embodiment, passing
bridge member 30 fromfirst lumen 28, throughseptal defect 110, and throughsecond lumen 40 allowsfirst patch 114 andsecond patch 116 to be centered acrossseptal defect 110. According to this embodiment,first patch 114 andsecond patch 116 can approach opposite sides ofseptal defect 110 and increase the probability of properly centering acrossseptal defect 110. - FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of two catheters connected by
bridge member 30 and having two patches sealingseptal defect 110, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. According to a preferred embodiment,first patch 114 may be urged towardseptal defect 110 alongbridge member 30 byfirst pusher 42, andsecond patch 116 may be urged towardseptal defect 110 alongbridge member 30 bysecond pusher 44. FIG. 5 depicts bothfirst patch 114 andsecond patch 116 in expanded configurations. However, in alternative embodiments of the invention,first patch 114 andsecond patch 116 may not be in the expanded configuration until they connect to one another. - FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of two catheters withdrawing from a repaired septal defect, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
First patch 114 andsecond patch 116 are connected acrossseptal defect 110. Afterfirst patch 114 andsecond patch 116 have been disposed atseptal defect 110,first catheter 22,first pusher 42,second catheter 34,second pusher 44, andbridge member 30 may be removed from the patient by withdrawing the catheters through the vasculature. - As suggested by FIG. 6, connecting
first patch 114 andsecond patch 116 need not necessarily constitute a perfect seal acrossseptal defect 110, since the removal ofbridge member 30 will likely leave a small opening withinfirst patch 114 andsecond patch 116. Rather, it is the patching of a substantial portion ofseptal defect 110 that is necessary to treat a septal defect. This is because substantially sealing the defect can result in generation of thrombus that can complete the seal. - In alternative embodiments of the invention,
first patch 114 andsecond patch 116 may be connected by differing mechanisms. Examples of these mechanisms are depicted in FIGS. 7-11. In the following description, features attributed to various embodiments of a first patch and a second patch are interchangeable. - FIG. 7 is a detailed view of hook and loop connectable patch devices, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment,
first patch 214 comprises anouter surface 46 having a plurality of loops 48. In addition,second patch 216 comprises anouter surface 50 having a plurality ofhooks 52 that are complementary to loops 48.Hooks 52 may engage loops 48 whenfirst patch 214 andsecond patch 216 are brought into contact with one another. Preferably, hooks 52 and loops 48 may engage sufficiently so thatfirst patch 214 andsecond patch 216 substantially remain connected. - FIG. 8 is a detailed view of magnet connectable patch devices, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment,
first patch 314 comprisesouter surface 146 including amagnet 54. In addition,second patch 316 comprisesouter surface 150 including amagnet 56 that has a polarity that is opposite tomagnet 54.Magnet 54 may engagemagnet 56 whenfirst patch 314 andsecond patch 316 are brought into contact with one another. Preferably,magnet 54 andmagnet 56 may engage sufficiently so thatfirst patch 314 andsecond patch 316 substantially remain connected. - FIG. 9 is a detailed view of adhesive connectable patch devices, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment,
first patch 414 comprisesouter surface 246 includingadhesive 58. In addition,second patch 416 comprisesouter surface 250 includingadhesive 60.Adhesive 58 may engage adhesive 60 whenfirst patch 414 andsecond patch 416 are brought into contact with one another and couplefirst patch 414 tosecond patch 416. For example, adhesive 58 and adhesive 60 may be chemically compatible such that direct contact of the adhesives causes a chemical reaction between the adhesives that couplesfirst patch 414 tosecond patch 416. Alternatively, adhesive 58 and/or adhesive 60 may be contained within a reservoir that may release upon one of the adhesives upon contact between the patches. For example,first patch 414 may include a penetrating member adapted to penetrate and release the adhesive from the reservoir. Moreover, adhesive 58 and/or adhesive 60 may be covered by a removable covering that, upon moving the covering, would make available the adhesive. - In a preferred embodiment, adhesive58 or adhesive 60 may comprise fibrinogen, fibrin, fibrinase, plasmin, fibrinolysin, cyanoacrylate, menadiol sodium diphosphate, phytomenadione, thrombin, and combinations thereof. In general, adhesive 58 may comprise any substance capable of holding
first patch 414 andsecond patch 416 together that is substantially biocompatible. - FIG. 10 is a detailed view of mechanically connectable patch devices, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment,
first patch 514 comprises achamber 62 and adeflectable flange 64. In addition,second patch 516 comprises ashank 66 having one or morerings defining recesses 68 therebetween. Preferably,chamber 62 is adapted to receiveshank 66 and lock in place whendeflectable flange 64 becomes disposed within arecess 68. Whenfirst patch 514 andsecond patch 516 are locked, they remain connected. - FIG. 11 is a detailed view of an alternative mechanically connectable patch device, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. According to this embodiment,
first patch 614 compriseschamber 162 havingthreads 70. Preferably, these features offirst patch 614 are analogous to that of a threaded nut. In addition,second patch 616 comprisesshank 166 having athread 72.Second patch 616 further comprises ahead 74 having aslot 76. Preferably, these features ofsecond patch 616 are analogous to that of a bolt or screw. An alternative pusher, for example,second pusher 144, may be used that includes acomplementary head 78 adapted to engageslot 76. According to this embodiment,second pusher 144 andsecond patch 616 have mating ends andsecond pusher 144 may comprise features analogous to a flexible screwdriver. Preferably,chamber 162 is adapted to threadably receiveshank 166. Rotation ofsecond pusher 144 whilecomplementary head 78 is engaged withslot 76 may allowsecond patch 616 to threadably engagechamber 162 in a manner analogous to using a screwdriver to thread a nut and bolt. Whenfirst patch 614 andsecond patch 616 are threaded, they remain connected. - Numerous advantages of the invention covered by this document have been set forth in the foregoing description. It will be understood, however, that this disclosure is, in many respects, only illustrative. Changes may be made in details, particularly in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of steps without exceeding the scope of the invention. The invention's scope is, of course, defined in the language in which the appended claims are expressed.
